Easy

Critics Consensus

Easy continues to apply a breezy approach to high-minded ideas in its second season, unfurling self-contained tales of mundanity that shine thanks to reliably terrific actors and gently humane writing.

In early episodes, Chi-town characters deal with the consequences of an open marriage and whether performing burlesque is an act of feminism -- topics creator Swanberg approaches without pretension or fuss.

Easy is of a very particular flavour and won't be for everyone, and as with every anthology series the quality from episode to episode can be variable, but when it's at its best, the show is smart, charming and makes you think.

In the worst stories, like a truly irksome doubleheader about artisanal breweries, the characters resemble the "Portlandia" ensemble, minus the satire. But even the best are full of passionate banality.

Audience Reviews for Easy: Season 2

Some episodes are interesting but some are so bogged down by fragile male egos that are supposed to stand in for storylines. Even the female characters are written how a basic dude would like women to act. Some storylines have such potential but the testosterone is blinding.
